Downtown Crestview

Today, while still in Crestview my Friends and I decided to walk around the CBD and look at the many skyscrapers and maybe go up to some of the observation floors.

We started off by taking the metro to the main station, which was located along the beachfront and right on the edge of the CBD. It was fairly busy, as all train/subway/bus services come to this station. It was a very modern building, built on top of where the old station, which was heavily damaged in a fire 20 years ago. When we got outside, we noticed that it was no longer overcast, and became a bright, sunny day,

Our first stop in the city was one of the most iconic buidlings, now called 'Optus Centre', Optus' main branch in Mirani. It was built as a symbol of Mirani's economic strength, it is quite old and was one of the tallest buildings in the southern hemisphere. Today, it is still quite iconic and the observation deck in the top floor, it had some of the best views, vast ocean and many islands in view!

The next building we visited, the Capri Tower, the facade is completely blue, reflective glass. It has one of the most luxuary resturaunts in the Pacific Ocean! It is currently the tallest building in the city, unlikely to be supassed by any new developments. The food was amazing and so was the view! Just as amazing as the view from the Optus Centre!

After that amazing 2 corse meal, we went back to our hotel to enjoy our last night in the capital. In the morning we would be leaving Creastview for Seatown, Capital of the Big Island! This should be exciting! It is much smaller than Crestview, but I know that our hotel will be great!
